Everyone is familiar with internet behemoths such as Uber and Airbnb which are better known as marketplaces. A marketplace connects people who have products or services to sell, hire or lease via an online platform. Entrepreneurs seeking to establish an online marketplace should be aware of their legal obligations, including those under the Australian Consumer Law and the Privacy Act. We are committed to providing high-quality and accessible legal advice, to explain these obligations to you plainly and to help you comply.
Our lawyers can assist you with setting up an online marketplace, by:
- preparing your marketplace terms and conditions;
- drafting your website’s terms of use and privacy policy;
- advising on payment models;
- registering your business name and domain name;
- applying to register any trade marks; and
- providing business structuring advice.
Our online business team is pragmatic, fast and collaborative. We assign a legal project manager specialising in marketplaces and online business to work closely with you during the process of setting up your online marketplace. This collaborative approach enables us to provide high-quality advice and unmatched client experience so you can build your business on a firm foundation.
